What's Become of the Baby - technically NEVER played live, the studio version was played over the speakers while the band played feedback on 4/26/69


Sliver Threads - gorgeous folk(?) song played only 17 times. here's my favorite:

Let It Rock - just once (by GD) on 6/23/74 why!? could have been such a sweet blues number with them

Stronger than Dirt - such a complex and wonderful jazz jam only played 5 times

Blues For Allah - long spaced out song that was only played 3 times in '75 (Deadbase says 2 more in '81 and '84 but they are very loosely based on BFA and sans lyrics)

I heard Furthur play it this summer and it was really great.

What's Become of the Baby for sure is another dropped gem.

As for Let it Rock, another song that I think benefited more from being played by JGB instead of the Dead, however both bands could have pulled it off.

Another great song I forgot is King Solomon's Marbles. Great jazz song that left plenty of room for jamming.

Tell it To Me and (Ain't it Crazy aka The Rub) I would have loved to hear more as well.
